...Christmas trees this year. Since Columbia released the landmark five-record album last month, it has been selling as quickly as stores can get it in stock. Springsteen Live became the first album to debut at No. 1 on Billboard magazine's best-sellers chart since Stevie Wonder put out Songs in the Key of Life a full decade ago. Retailers signed up for an unprecedented initial shipment of 1.5 million Springsteen record, tape and compact disc sets, but those copies sold so fast that the stores have ordered 1.85 million more.

That's not the film Eastwood wanted to make, and that he chose not to takes nothing away from his accomplishment. But if he had, I doubt that Abe would have walked out of a screening calling it a "very good film" - and that $40 million gross...
